Everyone's situation is different I guess. However, OP has no problem. He was just asking if he should get it "just because".

My friend's 370Z gets the piss beat out of it and is totally neglected and does just fine with CAI and exhaust.

Like you said though, everyone's area is different. Here in the hot humid south it may be better than at altitude, for example.

I factored in his location (texas is hot as ****, people avoid going outside), and his future mods. An oil cooler is a good investment IMO. I will certainly agree that an oil cooler is not for everyone, but based on what I see here in NY (humid 90's in the summer) with my Z, its a good idea for engine longevity.

Live in Louisiana. Same difference. Friend's Z does fine. Maybe OP should see what his oil temps actually run w/the mods before shelling out the cash?
